We found a flat listed online and wanted to rent it. We paid the advance and rent to the middleman, who said the owner doesn’t speak Hindi or English. He assured us everything was fine. However, the owner called us after we moved in and asked us to leave because the middleman hadn’t paid him. Now, the middleman is nowhere to be found. What can we do?

You are legally protected as the tenant. You have a valid rental agreement, even if it was made through a middleman. You can file a complaint against the middleman for fraud and against the owner for wrongful eviction. The owner cannot evict you without following legal procedures and providing proper notice.

My uncle, living in Shahdara, Delhi, has been falsely accused by a 16-year-old girl from Krishna Nagar.
